“I can’t reach him; he might not be in our universe anymore!” White Feather replied.
“Really?” Three-Clawed Dragon was stunned. “Missy, even you can’t reach him?”
“No, I can’t!” White Feather shook her head.
“Are you lying to me?” Three-Clawed Dragon asked again.
“Do I look like I’m lying to you?” White Feather retorted.
“Then we’re in trouble today!” Three-Clawed Dragon’s eyes darted around before he continued, “Missy, have you recovered your full strength?”
“No!” White Feather shook her head.
“That’s really troublesome!” Three-Clawed Dragon turned his gaze to Billy. “Sir, why don’t you let me keep the Dragon Void Fruit for you temporarily? If it’s with me, it won’t dare to steal it…”
“Kid, give me the Dragon Void Fruit!” At that moment, Black Dragon roared and charged at Billy, causing the void to churn violently.
Just as Black Dragon was halfway there, Sanaa flicked her wrist, and a slender sword flashed through the air.
In an instant, the sword pierced through Black Dragon as if it were nothing, passing through its body.
The next moment, Black Dragon’s aura deflated like a punctured balloon, and it fell from the sky.
Sanaa reached out towards Black Dragon, and a beast core flew into her hand.
Simultaneously, a soul separated from the body and shot into the sky, its face filled with horror.
Before it could react, Sanaa raised her hand, and the surrounding void twisted.
“Damn human, how dare you destroy my body! I warn you, if you dare to destroy my soul…” The soul began to speak harshly.
Before it could finish, a dark shadow emerged from Billy’s body-it was Dark Puppet.
With a powerful suction, Black Dragon’s soul was absorbed into Dark Puppet’s body.
The void returned to calm!
Dark Puppet couldn’t help but burp.
It was stuffed!
Black Dragon’s soul was a great supplement for it!
Seeing this, Three-Clawed Dragon gasped in shock, his face changing several times.
Destroying both body and soul without hesitation? Terrifying!
Humans are truly cunning. With such a powerful expert present, why didn’t they say so earlier? It almost got itself killed!
“This beast core is quite good. Take it and refine it when you have time; it should help you improve by one or two levels.” Sanaa handed the beast core to Billy.
“Miss Sanaa, you keep it. I have this Dragon Void Fruit…” Billy responded.
“Take it when I tell you to! Why so fussy?” Sanaa interrupted him.
“Alright then!” Billy smiled. “Thank you, Miss Sanaa!”
“Do you still need him to give you the Dragon Void Fruit for safekeeping?” Sanaa asked Three-Clawed Dragon.
“No need, no need. I was just joking earlier!” Three-Clawed Dragon shook his head vigorously. “It’s fine with the young man!”
“Pathetic!” White Feather glared at him.
“You know where the Dragon Void Fruit and the Dragon Saliva Pool are, right?” Sanaa continued to ask.
“Yes!” Three-Clawed Dragon nodded vigorously. “I’ll take you there!”
He then led them towards a desolate mountain.
After overcoming his initial shock, he felt elated. After fighting Black Dragon for so many years, someone finally eliminated his rival. From now on, this star domain would be under his control.
Soon, under Three-Clawed Dragon’s guidance, Billy, Sanaa, and White Feather arrived at the bottom of a cliff.
Billy saw a pool emitting steam not far away. It was twice as large as the Dragon Saliva Pool he had seen in the seventh-tier star domain.
However, unlike the previous pool, this one had black water mixed with traces of Essence Blood.
“And where is the other Dragon Void Fruit?” White Feather asked Three-Clawed Dragon.
“It’s in there!” Three-Clawed Dragon pointed to a stone cave ahead. “I’ll get it for you, sir!”
He entered the cave and soon reappeared with a black fruit, handing it to Billy. “Sir, here you go!”
“Thanks!” Billy accepted it without hesitation and stored it in his storage ring.
“Sir, your current cultivation is too low to fully absorb the energy of those two Dragon Void Fruits,” Three-Clawed Dragon advised. “It’s best to wait until you reach the mid-stage of Controlled Kun Realm before refining them; otherwise, it might backfire.”
“Got it!” Billy replied.
“Billy, get in there. We need to hurry to Prime City,” White Feather said.
“Alright!” Billy nodded.
He knew that tempering his body in the Dragon Saliva Pool would be excruciatingly painful, but such opportunities were rare!
Taking a deep breath, he entered the pool.
However, he soon realized he had underestimated the pain!
This time, the pain was several levels higher than before. Several times he wanted to give up; the pain was unbearable for any human.
Especially when White Feather breathed out a scorching fireball that ignited the pool, Billy truly felt like he was living in hell.
His blood vessels swelled more than twice their size. Veins bulged on his forehead; his eyes turned blood-red; his brows furrowed; his teeth clenched; his body trembled uncontrollably.
“Missy, I think he’s about to collapse. Should we pull him out?” Three-Clawed Dragon asked White Feather.
“Shut up!” White Feather pouted. “You’re the one who’s about to collapse!”
Three-Clawed Dragon thought: I was just trying to help!
“Are you sure he can handle it?” Sanaa asked White Feather after a while.
Although she knew White Feather wouldn’t harm Billy, the situation looked dire.
“Miss Sanaa, don’t worry. Billy’s physique and bloodline are extremely special. He can endure this pain. Besides, he has experience from last time…” White Feather replied.
“Ah!” Before she could finish, Billy let out a skyward scream and passed out.
White Feather, are you sure this is called enduring?
“Miss Sanaa, don’t worry…” White Feather continued but then seemed to remember something and changed her tone. “Oh no! I forgot Purple Spirit is in seclusion!”
“What do you mean?” Sanaa asked.
“Last time Billy passed out, Purple Spirit helped him through it. But now Purple Spirit is in seclusion…” White Feather explained again.
“Miss Sanaa, you need to act quickly!” White Feather urged.
“What should I do?” Sanaa asked.
“Inject your true energy into Billy’s body to help him resist the flames and cold,” White Feather instructed.
“Alright!” Sanaa nodded and extended her hands, channeling powerful true energy into Billy’s body.
As time passed, the water in the Dragon Saliva Pool gradually decreased at a visible rate.
A few hours later, the entire pool was completely dry…
